5.0 out of 5 stars smooth, complex and gentle, February 2, 2009

Delightful interplay of acoustic guitars. The four vocals are well chosen and fun. When they're cookin' I'm reminded of John McLaughlin's "Inner Mounting Flame", but generally, this is much more relaxing and varies throughout. A fan of Tal Farlow, I've admired Larry Coryell's musical ability for much of my life. It's nice to know the "Barefoot Boy" has passed this on to his sons.

This is an amazing CD! The three guitarists, Larry Coryell and his sons Murali and Julian, work wonderfully together and are fabulous musicians. The bassist and percussionist don't do anything spectacular, but do a very good job of holding down the groove. The variety of styles on this CD is amazing: a wide variety of jazz, blues, fingerpicking. Some tracks have Murali's vocals. All this variety makes this CD very interesting to listen too. And if you're worried about too much variety and not enough coherence, that's not a problem. Despite the variety, this CD is really coherent and holds together well. Definitely a CD to have for anyone who likes an intersting fusion of accoustic jazz styles. Amazing!!

This is an amazing CD!

The three guitarists, Larry Coryell and his sons Murali and Julian, are phenomenal players and work wonderfully together. The bassist Brian Torff, and Percussionist Alphonse Mouzon don't do anything spectacular but they do a really good job of holding down the groove.

This CD has a really wide variety of styles: a wide variety of jazz, blues, and other styles. This variety, along with the great playing of course(!), makes this CD really interesting to listen to. If you're worried about too much variety and not enough coherence, that is not a problem. Despite the variety, this CD is very coherent and definitely has a feeling of togetherness.

Anyone who likes an intersting fusion of accoustic jazz and other styles should get this CD. Amazing!!
